wich is the best site teaching you this kin of stuff

[RealContactFighter]

I didn't learn from a site per se, however there is a plethora of information out there. What I recommend is finding a credible coach to study under and to put in your hours inside the gym figuring out what works for you.

@jgq85 The "typical" Thai stance is: guard high and out in front, chin tucked, body half bladed, feet shoulder width apart, and more weight on the back leg. Every piece has plus and minuses, so everyone has a different stance. For example, keeping your feet close together includes these pluses: more speed and power for Thai style kicks, slightly less energy use, and ideal for defending low kicks. Minuses include: less mobility, weaker boxing punches, and certain Thai counters become ineffective.

How come when I watch fighters like buakaw they always leave their head open/unguarded. Is that just because they're skilled or fast enough to move out the way?

[jgq85]

Is there a single video on the internet that explains "muay thai" stance? Everyone has their foot power leg way back like a TKD or Karate stance, but I hear you're not supposed to have your foot far back, maybe a few inches at the most.

[itchykandar]

there is no right and wrong in stances be it 60/40 50/50 or 40/60. weight distribution depends on different situations faced. use what works for u.

very good stance our style teaches this exact one and it works much better than those crappy traditional styles.
